I was wondering if you could keep a single arowana with cichlids such as Jacks or Green Terrors. Also i would like some info on what to keep with Jacks and Green Terrors if i cannot keep an arowana!
 
Yes it can be done, the aro needs to be big enough not to be bullied by the cichlids but small enough that it don't eat the cichlids.

I'm assuming that you already have the JDs and GTs, if so what size are they? What size tank are they in or are you planning?
 
It also depends on what type of arowana you want. Some species need to be kept by themselves (varies by individual fish). Black & silver arow's can be kept with most South American and Central American cichlids.
 
No i do not have any of the fish yet, i just completed the stand and I am ready to start getting everything ready! Just planning everything out! I have kept 2 -210 Gallon Reef tanks for a LONNNNNG time and i know how planning needs to be done! The tank is going to be a 180 Gallon for now and i eventually plan on building like a 5000 gallon pond in the basement!
